Won’t be doing this again until a few years from now probably in a different paddle sport. This was fun!

I DID IT

I achieved my goal of under 3 min both sides before the Italy competition! My coach on the younger women’s team hopes I can get to 2 min 45 seconds, so we will see in the next couple of weeks if I can do more 🙂

500m on pERG

• Left, strong side 2:51.8
• Right, weak side 2:59.8

I had to WORK to keep that right side under 3 minutes, and most of the young women’s team are probably showing up next Monday to get their times in, so I put on some Shaq aka DJ Diesel and I got it DONE. Thanks Shaq!

Progress Since October 2023

I have shaved off ALMOST 20 SECONDS ON BOTH SIDES SINCE LAST OCTOBER YAYYYYYYY Math here

I’m glad I did this math because it helps me clearly identify what is helping me improve. So cool!

Despite busy week, got consistent workouts in

It was a very busy and tiring work week for me, but I still got my workouts in, and I also survived our first Italy specific double practice - which is more intense than the usual ones we do despite us potentially paddling for a shorter distance. Hope to keep it up!

Week 1 Total Miles: 18.2 miles

Upcoming

• I’m going to benchmarks tomorrow so I can get it over with. This is our final benchmark before competition, so I hope I pull some good numbers, and I’ll probably come here to reflect on these numbers vs. my numbers since the beginning of this year here.
• Keep up that consistent workout routine!
